Pros

Good work-life balance. Odd hours are the norm, but you don't have to worry about scheduling appointments in the afternoon, either. The district manager position offers alot of attractive experience should one move onto another position as well - you manager carriers, organize distribution, and gain some experience in marketing as well.

Cons

The entire industry is suffering. There is considerable doubt about whether the recent downturns are cyclical in nature and short-term or the first wave of a long trend of serious declines. This, of course, leads to decreases in budgets, layoffs, pay cuts, and the expectation that remaining employees do more for the same pay.

Pros

Career growth through working with a team that is about success - clients and your own!

Cons

No water-cooler chats because of being remote, but this isn't really a con.

Pros

A company that I believe genuinely cares about its employees as much as their clients. Great work/life balance, decent pay, great culture, welcoming and supportive atmosphere.

Cons

Trying to "fix" too many things at one time can lead to inconsistency and feelings of being overwhelmed at all levels. There is a lot of great intent and plans to continue to grow the company and make things better overall, however, sometimes it felt a lot like "pulling at straws" approach where upper leadership would try something impulsively, and not stick to it long enough to see if it could truly make an impact, and many times certain approaches contradicted a previous one for a different area of opportunity. However, it's important to note, that through many moving parts, there was always support offered, and a "safe space" to provide feedback at even entry level roles.
